• The units are currently let on ASTs generating a combined passing rent of £450,775 per annum.

• The property provides 8 car parking spaces which are let at £800 per space per annum, equating to an annual income of £9,600.
• The property provides a roof mast let to T-Mobile at a rent of £7,283 per annum.
• The vendor is currently in the process of developing a further 2 x 1 bedroom apartments & office floor space via a four storey extension to the east wing of the property and will sell the property subject to the completion of these works (Ref: 17/7144/FUL). The 2 x 1 bedroom apartments will be arranged across first and second floors and extend to a total area of approximately 1,211 sq ft NSA. The office floorspace will be arranged across basement and ground floor and extends to approximately 1,647 sq. ft NIA.
